We’re really excited to announce that our Job Instruction (JI) course was soft launched this week. I say “soft launch” because we’re still adding the course to our Learning System platform, but our Learning Library customers can now access the course. By the way, if you’re not currently a Gemba Academy customer and want to take us for a “test drive” be sure to request a preview account.

The thing I’m most excited about is that this is actually two courses in one. You see, we created our normal Gemba Academy “studio” videos which cover the theory and information side of things. All of this information can be found in our “Learners” course. This is the course our customers can use to run their own 5-day JI course.

But we didn’t stop there…we actually pulled 10 folks together and ran them through an in-person, 5-day, 10-hour Job Instruction course. Our friend, Roger Bilas, came in and helped us facilitate the class. And, you guessed it, we recorded the entire week so you can see what a live course looks like. This content makes up what we’re calling the “Facilitators” course. You can think of this as more of a “train the trainer” type of course.

We’ve already started to develop our Job Relations (JR) and Job Methods (JM) courses. In fact, we’re running live classes next month with 10 students. Once the live classes are done we’ll create some additional studio content which, when coupled together with the live class footage, will complete our TWI series of courses!

The Job Instruction Overview video can be viewed, free of charge. We’d invite you to check that out…and, again, if you want to see more please request a preview account. If you’d like a “full access” trial simply email me directly using this form and I will connect you with the right folks.
